Ingredients

1 cup masoor dal (split red lentil)
2 cups moong dal (split green gram)
salt to taste
2 tsp red chilli powder
a pinch of turmeric powder (haldi)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
oil for cooking

Method

Soak both the dals in enough water for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain the excess water and blend in a mixer to make a smooth batter, using little water.
Add the salt, turmeric and red chilli powder and mix well.
Heat a tava, grease it with oil and pour a ladleful of batter on it, spreading evenly like a thin dosa.
Sprinkle little onions and green chillies on top.
Cook using little oil, till golden and crisp form both the sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter and topping to make more chilas.
Serve hot with green chutney or ketchup.
